;Hunter
Hunter shells are very rare tank rounds which can be fired by a battle cannon or [[Conqueror cannon]]. They contain a small logic-engine similar to the one found on [[Hunter-Killer Missile]]s which locks onto a target and directs the path of the shell towards it. Just before impact the shell's [[Machine Spirit]] causes it to rise above and hit the enemy vehicle on it's thinner top armour. Only ever produced on the [[Forge World]] [[Tigrus]], the knowledge to construct Hunter shells was lost when the world was overrun by the [[Orks]]. Most tank crews will therefore never even see a Hunter shell, much less have the honour of firing one.{{Fn|3d}}

===Rapid-Fire Battle Cannon===
The '''Rapid-Fire Battle Cannon''' is a terrible and powerful weapon carried by [[Knight Paladin]]s. This large-calibre artillery cannon is capable of unleashing a stream of high-explosive shells at a prodigious rate and accuracy. It is equally capable of blasting holes in massed infantry formations as it is wiping out squadrons of vehicles or engaging in long-range duels with enemy artillery pieces.{{Fn|6}}
